As an aurora researcher at the Geophysical Institute of the University of Alaska Fairbanks, Don Hampton has monitored the skies above Alaska for nearly two decades.  Hampton captures thousands of images a night using a myriad of imaging tools that help him to quantify the energy pouring down into earth's ionosphere from particles in the solar wind. By examining the aurora's varying colors as well as radar imaging of aurora's effects, Hampton ultimately hopes to help identify the risks posed by high energy solar particles to satellites and our electrical infrastructure.
